The loner wants his letters uncensored, to see other prisoners and wants visits from at least five friends and supporters.

But the court heard the greedy convict is treated to his own treadmill, exercise bike, PlayStation, reclining chair and foot stool.

Lawyers also said he receives newspapers, magazines, books, jigsaw puzzles, watches, DVDs and has a sound system.

He has apparently shunned offers of games of chess and indoor hockey with prison staff.

But during the hearing an unrepentant Breivik grumbled about his meals and the security before telling the court: "The worst is isolation. I am locked up 23 hours a day."

The killer failed to repeat a Nazi salute he made on the first day of the hearing.

But he admitted being a follower of Nazism since he was 12 and to reading Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf when he was just 14.

Wearing a black suit, white shirt and golden tie, Breivik also told the hearing his job was "party secretary" of the extreme right-wing Nordic State organisation.

People couldn't contain their laughter when he complained about his microwaved dinners being worse than waterboarding – a controversial interrogation technique used at Guantanamo Bay.

The extremist is demanding Skien jail bosses allow him out of his special three-room cell and end the regime that allows him contact only with prison staff and professionals.

He also says he has been strip searched a "humiliating" 885 times, adding: "It's understandable when it's justified, for example when it involves people who have a violent past or something like that, but I have been conducting myself in exemplary fashion for five years."

The state says the conditions are appropriate for a dangerous fanatic.

Its lawyers also said Breivik's 4,000 letters weren't censored and that only 15 per cent of them had been stopped.
